My Bloodlines I submit to this paper’s readers this information about me. One of my grandmothers was about one-quarter American Indian. That fact makes me about 1/16 American Indian. The rest of my bloodlines are, I think, more or less, mostly from England, some from France, some from Ireland. But who knows; maybe I also have family blood connections to the people of Chad or Mali. And here is something else about me and mine.
